Keele Business School MBA ranks in global sustainability Top 40 for third consecutive year

Keele Business School has been ranked among the top 40 universities in the world in a prestigious global sustainability ranking for the third consecutive year, recognising its work to embed sustainability in its MBA course.  

KBS increased its rank in the latest edition of the Corporate Knights 2026 Better World MBA ranking, rising to 35th in the world.  

The Corporate Knights Better World MBA ranking is a global league table of 179 business schools worldwide, which scores MBA providers and business schools across the world on their efforts to provide a course that enables graduates to have a positive impact on the world.  

They are scored according to how much of their MBA course is focused on promoting sustainable development in their teaching, as well as the proportion of the university’s graduates who go on to work in “impact” organisations, such as not-for-profit companies and those whose primary focus is providing solutions to social or environmental problems.  

Professor Nick Seager, Acting Director of Keele Business School, said: “We are thrilled that Keele Business School has secured a place in the Corporate Knights Top 40 Global MBA Ranking for a third consecutive year, and are proud to see our MBA featured on this prestigious list. 

“Developing leaders who are driven by purpose and dedicated to creating positive chang is a key priority for us which is at the heart of our MBA teaching and reflects our whole university's approach to embedding sustainability in everything we do."
